We do have graphics drivers, SCSI controllers, sound cards, CD-ROM, and
LANtastic network all on the same machines. Using QEMM 7 with DOS 6's multi
config, we can have 634K of free DOS conventional RAM even with all those
drivers and SmartDrive loaded. We've never once had a problem with
cross-linked files (we use LANcache instead of SmartDrive, since it's a bit
smaller and is able to speed up LANtastic access as well as physical hard disk
access, but the methodology is the same: never power down, reboot, or reset
without first flushing the cache! DOS 6.2 and the SmartDrive patch "fix" this
by defaulting to Write-Back caching off, and we're just not willing to take
that kind of performance hit in the name of safety when we already have that
taken care of).
